I was dumping these links all in strange remains because I simply have nothing of value to say about them but they subliminally cried for me to put them together in their own post. Apologies to Jeb who begged me not to cover the ultra-dumb Tom DeLonge story but… can’t help it. Also, it’s good…

Yes, I KNOW this is from the National Enquirer but whenever a psychic gets bad publicity, it makes me smile! It also sounds somewhat plausible as I’ve looked up the psychic in question.

You know what? I’ve always thought Chip Coffey was yucky. No change now. He’s also a coward to continually dodge calls for him to show actual evidence for the ridiculous claims he makes.

I’m not too keen on taking factual advice from a self-labeled “babe”.

She’s scientifically ignorant and serving some rotten advice. But she may have just made a fatal mistake…

Deepak Chopra, the egotistical “guru” with a bee in his bonnet about “debunkers”, issues a ridiculous, nonsensical “challenge” to Randi and the skeptics.
